Dead Space (2008)
Store stock is deterministic; minor drop variance on kills
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
Spawn mixes add slight run-to-run noise
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dead Space (2008)
Weapon upgrading, power-node routing and stasis timing are optimisable
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
Combo routes and time-bonus placement are deeply optimizable
